Skin on the Neck Could Be More Sensitive Than Facial Skin

April 11, 2018

What's the first place on your body to show visible signs of aging? Many people assume it's the face or the hands. But there's another place on your body that gives your age away much faster than your face or even your hands.

When many women apply skincare products, they stop at the jawline with their facial care and at the shoulders with their body moisturizers and sunscreens. This leaves the neck, which is already just as vulnerable to UV exposure and other environmental pollutants as the face, completely untreated. And the skin here is even thinner and more delicate than the skin on your face. It has trouble holding moisture and doesn't have a lot of collagen to begin with. This creates the perfect storm for signs of aging: crepey skin, dryness, sagging, wrinkles, leathering, sunspots, and discoloration.

You might be thinking, "But wait! I do apply my facial moisturizer to my neck!" That's a good start, but it doesn't mean you're in the clear. Because the skin on your neck is different than facial skin, it needs unique, more powerful products to actually reverse the signs of aging that show up so quickly in this area. While body and face moisturizers can provide some immediate relief for dryness, they won't offer any long-term protection, tightening or restoration.

Despite all this, you've probably not seen too many neck and décolletage products available. That's because, to be honest, we didn't know what to do for this unique area. But new discoveries and breakthroughs are changing that. I recently told you about peptides, small portions of proteins that can do amazing things for your skin - everything from tightening and toning to lightening and brightening to smoothing and softening. And peptides, it turns out, are perfect for the neck.

Revitalize Aging Skin: Overnight

This silky smooth cream contains the latest in apple stem cell skin science to visibly reduce the signs of aging. It also contains Rice bran, Candelilla, Jojoba and 36 more ingredients to add natural moisture and counteract age-causing dehydration. Wake up in the morning to energized, fresher looking skin.

Two of the new peptides Botaniceutical CS and ChroNOline can increase collagen production by up to 175% and boost elastin as well, impressively fading wrinkles. Several studies of these proteins have gotten remarkably rapid results, and I've already incorporated them into our Day and Night Crèmes so that you can enjoy their benefits.

However, I saw the potential for these peptides to do even more: they are perfect for the extra-delicate skin of the neck and décolletage - especially when combined with a few other breakout stars, like Tego Pep-4. This is another peptide that can even fade away scars, redness, irritation, dark spots, and hyperpigmentation. Then there's grape stem cells, which reduce inflammation, improve skin tone, and restore rough, crepey skin.

We have combined these peptides with red algae extract and our exclusive Zand Hydro-Lipid Complex for strong antioxidant skin brightness and clarity. Aquaxyl and ceramide NG improve moisture almost immediately and BV-OSC, a patented form of vitamin C that hydrates skin while reducing dark spots and hyperpigmentation by 80%, evens the complexion. It is hard to find anything equivalent that is natural, non-toxic, safe for women (even if they're undergoing chemotherapy and radiation), and EFFECTIVE.

We have combined all of these powerful ingredients into the new Système 41 Neck Treatment. But we didn't add toxic chemical emulsifiers, silicones, petroleum-based oils, artificial colors, or synthetic fragrance. Your neck doesn't need to deal with any more chemicals; it deserves its own special treatment from powerful natural ingredients.
